Open first series, 8:49 a.m., huge triple. Two long retired with water. Longest is 400 yds and all water. It will take at least 17-18 minutes a dog.

10:08 a.m. 9 dogs have run with 3 completions. All others picked up.

18 min per dog = 3.3 dogs/hr

71 dogs at 3.3 dogs per hour = 21 hours w/out re-birds or no birds.

Guess all those pick-ups will help.

3:38 p.m. 10 dogs (maybe less) have done the test without handling or picking up. only 2 of the last 17 to run have done the test. At least 33 dogs have run thus far.

About to run the last dog for the day. We have 19 to run in the morning, and 19 dogs out of 55 have done the test in some way without a handle.

Dog #56 will start in the morning.

Thanks for the Open info. Yesterday's dogs had 30 mph wind and some couldn't hear well enough to handle on the long retired.

Saturday--wind isn't any less than Friday. Early visibility on long bird is not very good.

Amateur judges John Caire and Susan Caire. Please post the setup for the Am.

Blind as described to me is 375+ poison bird with a couple of key holes.

Land blind was a retired poison mark thrown towards the line. Very tight corridor over a log thru a bunch of trees with a stiff wind. Dogs winded the poison bird going by it. Difficult ending putting the dog on the blind. Then pick up the retired poison mark.

18 back.

Don't have details on waterblind.

Water marks are inline triple on same piece used for waterblind. Long retired at 400 yards along the side and top of pond dam thrown 1st. Middle retired flyer at 200 yds across small pond thrown 2nd. Go bird on pond.
